The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced some changes on the definition of people who are classed as vaccinated against Covid-19.
Dr Rochelle Walensky, the Director of the CDC, said that the definition of fully vaccinated will now mean people who have also received booster jabs. The US health agency will now also stop referring to these people as “fully vaccinated,” but instead will call them people who are “up to date” with their vaccinations.
Walensky said: “What we are really working to do is pivot our language so that everyone is as up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines as they personally could be, should be based on when they got their last vaccine.
“So, importantly right now we are pivoting our language, we really want to make sure people are up to date.”
She added: “That means if you recently got your second dose, you’re not eligible for a booster. You’re up to date. If you are eligible for a booster and you haven’t gotten it, you’re not up to date and you need to get your booster in order to be up to date.”
Previously, Walensky said that the CDC’s definition of “fully vaccinated” was not going to change to include booster vaccines. She instead has tried to argue that using the term “up to date” is only meant to make US policy “consistent with how public health has historically viewed or even talked about how we recommend vaccines.”
However, it’s clear that this change in language is only to further blackmail Americans into getting a third dose, making it seem like being unvaccinated is a crime.
The CDC has tried hard in the previous months to push the latest booster and push the claim that a third dose would effectively protect recipients from Covid-19 and its various variants.
“These reports add more evidence to the importance of being up to date with [COVID-19] vaccinations. That means getting your primary series and getting boosted when eligible to protect against severe COVID-19,” said Walensky.
“There are still millions of people who are eligible for a booster dose and have not yet received one. As we continue to face the omicron variant representing over 99 percent of infections in the United States today, I urge all who are eligible to get their booster shot to get it as soon as possible.”
What about those of us who are “Fully Naturally Immunized?”
Does it really matter?
Does anybody really care?
Does the CDC have ANY credibility left?
they cant keep up and pay off those billions they owe in time at this rate ...
They need ALL their possible passengers ...
That's the way I see it. Notice how some of the large Cruise Lines jumped right in, prior to this announcement, saying they were going along with the CDC protocols.
I am bewildered that the creditors who stand to lose Billions of dollars, havent stepped in and asked the bankruptcy courts to implement chapter 11 bankruptcy, and to get rid of the CEOS who are making those type of decisions for the Cruise Lines. - Tom
No one will ever be fully vaccinated according to the commies in the cdc and government. This is why you never listen to then.
The CDC must have their definition privileges removed because of abuse
If omicron is 99% infectious, then the booster thingie ain’t gonna do nuthin.
Language Pivot du jour.
Aren’t the vaxxes and the boosters based on the spike protein from the original covid - now some 2 years and scores of mutations old? Yet they insist on a jab from a vax for a protein that has likely changed since its original appearance. But people who had the omicron are considered unprotected, even though they have antibodies for the latest spike protein AND ALL other parts of the virus to boot.
If ‘omicron’ is relatively harmless, then WHY are hospital admissions way up? Is there a cash incentive in there somewhere?
Hopefully this word game charade will come to a screeching halt when new cases crash in a few weeks.
Yeah, no.
Double vaxxed with moderna about a year ago. Managed to get Delta this past November, it turned out to kick my butt a little - really bad bronchitis but I survived. Then got Omicron in December just as I recovered from Delta.
NO WAY am I getting a booster, ever. Not one mention of immunity from actually having the virus! What a joke.
I want to see murderess Walensky tried in a new Nuremberg trial, convicted, and hung by the neck until dead. Along with Fauci. MURDERERS.
Uh… Yes. Hospitals get a bonus for every body labeled Covid. That’s why suicides and gunshot victims die of Covid.
Moving the goalposts is the leftist’s favorite sport.

They control the language, and the minds of millions. The media will dutifully adjust its language and the mind-deadened folks out there will adjust their thoughts to conform to the new reality. Or so they hope. It’s not working with me.
